Changes in the Chat Group

Lin Yu: "..."

That actually works?!

Back in the Frieren World, Lin Yu's forehead was covered in black lines. He had never expected such a development.

Indeed, if the world was destroyed and only he remained, that was essentially unifying the world and dominating the entire universe!

But even though the World Consciousness had clearly determined he was cheating, he still managed to clear the trial. It seemed the Admin Trial's passing conditions were quite flexible...

Thinking this, Lin Yu couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

When he stepped slightly out of line, the World Consciousness began condemning him for cheating. But when he completely flipped the table, taking down the rules and order along with the entire world, it started acknowledging his achievement instead.

Sure enough, they say prejudice in people's hearts is like a mountain. Lin Yu had proven through practical experience that as long as your strength was great enough, even tens of thousands of mountains could be easily shattered!

"...So this is the Chat Group's Admin Trial?"

"Transmigrating as Ying Zheng and dominating the world—what exactly is this trial testing?"

Lin Yu couldn't figure it out. He had skipped too many steps and couldn't grasp the trial's intended purpose at all.

After a moment's thought, he shook his head, deciding to drop the question and instead opened the chat window.

Sure enough, the announcement of him becoming an admin had already been broadcast in the group.

The three group members immediately exploded, alternating between amazement and congratulations, spamming the chat box nonstop.

[Su Haoming: As expected of Brother Lin!]

[Su Haoming: You became an admin so quickly!]

[Lin Yu: Honestly, I didn't expect it either...]

[Su Haoming: !!!]

[Su Haoming: The admin has surfaced!]

[Su Haoming: Congratulations!]

[Fan Xian: Congratulations!]

[Yun Ye: Congratulations!]

[Yun Ye: Brother Lin, would you mind sharing the conditions for promotion to admin?]

[Lin Yu: No problem.]

[Lin Yu: After completing a stage mission, the Chat Group notified me that my contribution points had reached the threshold and asked if I wanted to take the Admin Trial.]

[Fan Xian: There's actually a trial...]

[Fan Xian: So passing the trial makes you an admin?]

[Lin Yu: That's right.]

[Su Haoming: Then you moved way too fast!]

[Yun Ye: I think there must be some time flow difference or something.]

[Lin Yu: Emmm...]

[Yun Ye: Got it, no difference, just a speedrun!]

[Lin Yu: Honestly, I'm not sure either.]

[Lin Yu: Logically, there should be one, otherwise why would I have been turned into a baby.]

[Lin Yu: It's just that I cleared it too quickly, so I didn't feel any obvious gap...]

[All Group Members: ...]

[Fan Xian: What do you mean, transmigrating as a baby?]

[Yun Ye: You can speedrun even as a baby?!]

[Su Haoming: Brother Lin, I'm starting to not understand!]

Lin Yu smiled and briefly told them about his trial process.

After hearing it, the three group members fell silent for a long time before finally typing a question mark.

[Su Haoming: Transmigrate as Ying Zheng, destroy the world, and then clear it?]

[Fan Xian: What kind of trial is this? What is the Chat Group even testing?]

[Yun Ye: I think it might be testing Brother Lin's choices and tendencies...]

[Su Haoming: What do you mean?]

[Yun Ye: Admins have higher authority, right? In a way, Brother Lin's performance in the trial also represents what he might do after becoming an admin.]

[Su Haoming: You mean Brother Lin might destroy us?]

[Yun Ye: That's not what I meant!]

[Yun Ye: Scroll up and look at Brother Lin's clearing method. Is it even replicable?]

[Su Haoming: Well... it really isn't.]

[Yun Ye: What I mean is, the trial's purpose might be to test members' inclinations, and there's probably more than one way to clear it. The strong ruling the weak is one direction, and the strong guiding the weak is another.]

[Su Haoming: If that's the case, and different directions can all clear it, then what's the point of this trial?]

[Yun Ye: You'd have to ask the Chat Group about that. I'm just throwing out my guesses...]

The three members began discussing the Admin Trial.

Lin Yu watched for a moment, then sent a message: "You guys keep talking. I'm going to check what changes the Chat Group has."

With that, he immediately opened [Group Files] and first glanced at the next stage's activity requirement.

[Activity: 2400 (10173/20000)]

[Contribution: 23841 (25774/10000)]

Not bad, just doubled. At a rate of 400 points per day, he could hit the target in under a month.

Lin Yu's gaze moved down and he noticed a delete option had appeared next to the uploaded files—likely an exclusive admin deletion privilege.

Somewhat useful, but not very...

Lin Yu shook his head and continued examining the other changes.

On the [Group Mall] interface, the admin-exclusive [Realm-Breaking Talisman] had finally unlocked, and new items were added: the mid-tier versions of the Cross-border Invitation Letter and the Realm-Breaking Talisman.

Both mid-tier versions tripled the duration of stay, but the price only doubled, costing 200 Points and 2000 Points respectively.

Beyond that, a new "List Item" option had appeared in the bottom right corner of the [Group Mall].

All items listed by members appeared in a new list, clearly separated from the official merchandise.

So far, only one item was in the new list—a stone lion listed by Yun Ye, priced at a whopping 9999 Points.

"...Is this a scam?"

Lin Yu's forehead lined with black streaks. He casually took out a Spirit Stone and tried listing it. Sure enough, the Spirit Stone vanished from his hand and appeared on the new list.

Without hesitation, Lin Yu immediately bought back the Spirit Stone he'd listed for 100 Points.

In an instant, silver light flashed. The vanished Spirit Stone returned to his hand, and the Points spent on the purchase also came back to his account—though the amount seemed slightly less.

"Only 99 Points? So that's a 1% fee..."

Lin Yu frowned.

The [Group Red Packet] unlocked today could also send items across worlds, and it had no fee.

Compared to that, this listing feature seemed pretty useless...

After a moment's thought, Lin Yu shared his thoughts with the three members.

They immediately stopped their discussion and replied:

[Su Haoming: Brother Lin, you didn't scroll up to read the chat history, did you?]

[Su Haoming: Before the admin's message popped up, we already tested it.]

[Su Haoming: The Group Red Packet has a volume limit. Anything slightly too big can't fit into the red packet.]

[Lin Yu: So the Group Mall doesn't have that limit?]

[Fan Xian: Exactly!]

[Fan Xian: Like Yun Brother's stone lion—it couldn't fit in a red packet, but it could be listed on the mall.]

[Lin Yu: I see. That explains why you listed a stone lion for 9999.]

[Lin Yu: At that price, neither of them can afford it. You weren't targeting me, were you?]

[Yun Ye: Hehe, just testing. Brother Lin, don't slip up!]

[Su Haoming: Old Yun, don't say I didn't warn you. Brother Lin's an admin now. If he slips up, you're done for!]

[Yun Ye: ...]

[Yun Ye: He wouldn't be able to kick me, would he?]

Lin Yu clicked on Yun Ye's name and checked, then replied: "Not that extreme."

[Yun Ye: [Sigh of relief]]

[Lin Yu: Just the ability to Mute members and initiate a Kick Vote...]

[Yun Ye: [Terrified]]

[Yun Ye: I'll take it down right now!]

Seeing this, Lin Yu smiled faintly and continued checking his other permissions.

Aside from Mute and Kick Vote, he was surprised to find a plus sign had appeared in the top right corner of the member list!

"Is this the option to invite new members?"

Lin Yu's heart stirred, and he immediately tapped the plus sign.

In an instant, a brand-new interface appeared before him.

[Invite Progress: 27/30]

[Pending Qualification: 1]
